Mitsui Looking for a Major League Deal

by Patrick Newman (Dec 21, 2008)

Something for teams interested Koji Mitsui to keep in mind - the lefty is saying that he's willing to skip his foray to America if all he gets is a minor league deal.
Said Mitsui: "There's some question as whether it'll be a major league
contract or not. Will I not sign (if it's a minor league contract)?
That is a possibility."

The same article says that Mitsui dropped 7kg (15 lbs.) by fasting and going on a "banana diet". Hmm...
